Grape-Nuts

[Gofaaast]

They are an old favorite of mine. I like them with half and half after sitting about 10 minutes.

I rather enjoy the flavor of Grape Nuts. The down side is if I bite them when they are hard, gotta use a toothpick to dig the bits out of my teeth, no fun. And as for Euell Gibbons, I always thought of him as being more than half-a-bubble off plumb. Came the day when he was pitching the idea of putting cut up yellow apple on breakfast cereal. A few days later I gave that a try just to prove he was nuts. After finishing that bowl I decided he was right. This was GOOD. Still use yellow apple on cold cereal and genuinely enjoy it.

They have always been in production but with 6 million flavors/ brands of other cereal on the market they sometimes get crowded off the shelf .
I always liked them ... Taste like Wild Hickory Nuts ...
Who remembers Euell Gibson ?

Let them soak in the milk a few minutes ... makes them easier to eat .

My Mom had a baking recipe for Grape-Nut Banana Crunch Muffins that was very good and I enjoyed them ... I have the recipe if anyone wants it ...

Many parts of a pine tree are edible.

I like Grape Nut Flakes. I don't need the exercise it takes to eat plain grape nuts in the morning.

I always thought that Grape Nuts was a physical deformity.

[Thundarstick]

OH COM ON Thunder, they put hair on your chest. Thats what Grandpa said!

Got plenty on my chest from other manly endeavors! If it'll put hair on my head??

They have a lot of sodium, so anyone on a low sodium diet should avoid them.

Finding cereal with no sodium is not easy, but I found some store brand shredded wheat that has 0 sodium

[Thundarstick]

Haven't tried that, is it good?

Taste just like Grape Nuts cereal!

Taste just like Grape Nuts cereal!

My neighbor has chickens, so I guess I well have to give it a try.
LOL

Never not been available around here. I like them in spite of the cost. I soak mine for 5-10 minutes in milk before eating with frozen blueberries.

[elmacgyver0]

Actually, I love them but don't eat them much.
If I eat more than one meal a day, I gain weight.
I need to lose about 10 pounds so I can fit into all my clothes.
It sucks but it is what it is.

[fixit]

Knew more than one adult when I was young who called them buckshot! Couldn't stop laughing the first time I them called such.

I remember having these in the 60's growing up. They were never my favorite, but Mom always had a box of them next to the corn flakes in the pantry. I can't remember the last time I seen any in the stores, and figured they were no longer made. A couple days ago I was in the grocery store and they had quite a few boxes on the shelf. A box came home with me. They are just like I remember them, only over the past 50 years my tastes have changed and I found them a nice change.

Have they always been available, or is this a new rehash of an old discontinued product? Perhaps a regional thing? I am spending the winter in the south west, first time in 64 years I haven't had to shovel snow by this time of year.

I grew up with them as well....mom loved 'em and so did I....they have always been available down here in our neck of the woods and I still buy and eat 'em!

It's Euell Gibbons. Hated grape-Nuts myself.

[bbogue1]

Hadn't thought of Euel Gibbons in years. Thanks to Wikipedia he has gone to the big nature garden in the sky Euell Theophilus Gibbons (September 8, 1911 – December 29, 1975). A bit hard for me and I have digesting trouble with wheat. Thanks for the memory.

[Rapier]

Yep, to me they were tooth breakers. Just like half popped pop corn. I guess you could soak Grape Nuts for a bit then try to eat them. My grandmother used to eat grape nuts all the time with false teeth. I Tied to eat them several times, my teeth grew too close together, they just break up then jam in between the teeth.
I prefer oat meal, made with milk and real butter. Unfortunately, no sugar for me.

[Geezer in NH]

Great in no sugar Vanilla pudding IMHO as a diabetic

[dale2242]

OK Gary, Post the recipe for the Banana Crunch Muffins.

[Buzz Krumhunger]

I figured out there’s no grape and no nuts in them things. FALSE ADVERTISING
